You are viewing a beautiful 1980 Mercedes 280 SL european model with only 69K original miles, which has all the service history paperwork since the car was brand new. This car was originally bought in Atlanta, Ga and then it went to North Carolina where the second family has owned it since. This car is a beautiful red with black leather. The paint is shiny all over and looks like new. It has only a few tiny chips that were touched up. The leather interior looks like new as well and shows no major wear. The carpets are clean and look new and still have the original floor mats that also look like new, as well. The dash looks pristine with no cracks, and the wood is also in excellent condition. This car is rare. It had power windows installed at the dealer using factory components when it was new since all 280 sl's are manual roll up window. In addition, the car still has the original cranks. It also had cruise control installed with a factory cruise unit and comes with its own manual for operation, which is located in the center wood above climate control. The AC is ice cold. Mechanically, this is the best 107 I have ever owned. It has a lot of power and drives better than the 560 SL This engine is a monster. It starts right up. Idles very smooth and takes off like a sports car. Recently, I had a lot of service done on this car including: installing new Michelin tires, new brakes, new sway bar links. In addition, there was a full tune up done including wires, spark plugs, gaskets, brake fluid flush and radiator flush. This car needs nothing. I drove it home from North Carolina, and it was an amazing drive. It just wanted to keep going and was so smooth holding the road like a new car. The car was always babied and garage kept. It still has the original soft top on it, which is unheard of. It's in excellent condition and has only one slight crack in the corner of the right rear plastic window. I wanted to leave it since its original and not that big of a deal . The hard top is in excellent condition and has the factory stand and also a car cover comes with it . The last owner was a woman who loved this car and maintained it to the highest standard. She passed away, and I bought it from her daughter who is in her late 60's. Since she never drove it and didn't want the car to sit, I bought it and now I am hoping it will go to a proud new owner. I have a lot of service. All the books 2 keys, tool kit, original window cranks, car cover , and medical kit is also un touched . I don't think you will find a better car out there for the money . This car needs nothing except a new home. Please read my feed back as I take pride in finding the best Mercedes Classic cars and detailing them to the highest standard. Bid with confidence summer is almost here and this car is ready to be enjoyed. . Steve 954-464-3515

UK workers strand car on island of asphalt to keep working
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Generally speaking, when you illegally park your car, you're likely to get ticketed and towed, but there is probably at least one motorist in Scotland who wishes that was the case. After workers had blocked off a portion of the parking lot for the Edinburgh Waverley railway station, the driver of this Mercedes-Benz S-Class reportedly moved some of the barriers to park in one of the empty spots.
Rather than having the vehicle towed, the work crew simply tore up the asphalt around the leaving just the one parking spot intact, and as you can see in the image above (posted to the Twitter account of Harold Norstad), the crew even built a small asphalt ramp so the car could get off its blacktop pedestal. Since this happened last week, there's no word as to whether the car was eventually moved or towed for the resurfacing work to continue.
Let this be a warning...
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
Brabus to storm Geneva with 800-hp version of Mercedes SL65 AMG
Wed, 27 Feb 2013At no point during our recent drive of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG did we ever think, "You know, this thing sure is slow." After all, Merc's range-topping SL comes fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 capable of sending 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. But just in case you're still all "meh" about what the SL65 throws down, Brabus will gladly come to your rescue with this, the 800 Roadster.
As its name suggests, the 800 Roadster ups the V12's power figures to 800 horsepower and - wait for it - 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Don't get too excited, though - that torque number has been electronically limited to a measly 811 lb-ft since, you know, the transmission would probably explode if you tried to put the full force through it. Nevertheless, these represent increases of 79 hp and 73 lb-ft over the standard SL65, and that means the 800 Roadster can shoot to 62 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds - two-tenths of a second quicker than the Merc its based on. More impressively, hitting 124 mph takes just under 10 seconds, and the droptop will finally top out at an electronically limited - limited! - 217 mph. Holy smokes.
To manage all of that speed, Brabus has engineered a special carbon fiber aero kit that reduces lift, and a unique control module for the SL65's active body control suspension lowers the ride height by one full inch. The 800 Roadster rides on new 20-inch wheels, and a unique limited-slip rear differential was added, featuring a 40 percent locking rate that further enhances performance when you're attempting to control the beast at its limits. Interior upgrades include new leather and alcantara surfaces throughout the cabin, including a leather-clad trunk.
